Skydiver saved after epileptic fit at 2,700m (DRAMATIC VIDEO)

A 22-year-old student from Perth, Australia, has posted a shocking video of a narrow escape. Christopher Jones had a seizure while skydiving, but luckily was saved mid-air by his instructor.

The whole incident was captured on a helmet-mounted camera, and
the footage went viral on YouTube with almost 3.5 million views
in a day.

The jump was from 12,000 feet (3,600 meters), and the seizure
occurred at 9,000 feet (2,700 meters). For the next 30 seconds,
Jones was in free fall, according to the video description.

In the footage, Western Australia Skydiving Academy instructor
Sheldon McFarlane manages to get to the unconscious Christopher
and pull his rip cord just in time, at 3,000 feet (900 meters)
above the ground.

Jones has epilepsy but said he hadn't had a seizure in four
years.

"I've always wanted to have the feeling of flight, so I just
thought, considering I can't fly a plane due to my condition, I
thought I'd give it a go,” he told the Australian
Broadcasting Corporation.

Western Australia Skydiving Academy business manager and chief
instructor Robin O'Neill said the course participants fill out a
questionnaire whether they had illnesses and conditions such as
epilepsy.
